The lighter you get a Cobra, the wider the tires need to be. A 2100 to 2400 pound Cobra is one hell of a street car and the size of the motor does not matter. Good tires and better brakes are what you need on a Cobra. 225 RWHP will make a rocket out of these little cars.
With 400 RWHP you do not have to fear any street car. Yea threre are 600 hp rice burners out there that can blow you away but they don't have the beautiful lines that we have.
Race track, different story.
